Rynn Azerial Willgohs, a 50-year-old transgender woman, has been rapidly researching ways to flee the United States. She’s from the U.S., but with physical attacks against transgender and nonbinary people on the rise and lawmakers targeting transgender people with increasingly draconian legislation that criminalizes their very existence, Willgohs is worried.
The national landscape, accompanied by some of her own personal experiences, has made a future in the U.S. feel untenable for Willgohs. In March 2021, when Willgohs had just started her transition, she was traveling across the state for work when she decided to stop at a public bathroom. A man followed her inside and pushed her up against a wall. “I thought he was going to choke me to death,” she told VICE News. Today, she mostly feels safe in Fargo, North Dakota, where she lives, but she’s careful in rural areas. And when she leaves the state, she often doesn’t feel safe at all.
“There’s like 30 states right now I wouldn’t even drive through,” Willgohs said.
Her own experiences, and the increasingly hostile national climate, inspired Willgohs to start TRANSport, a budding non-profit that seeks to help trans people transition, navigate bureaucratic mazes, and ultimately finance their journeys as they flee the country.
Willgohs is considering claiming asylum in Iceland, a country she visited last summer and considers more accepting—and safer—than the U.S. And she felt like being trans was a “non-issue” while there. Though there’s currently a lack of clarity around whether it’s even possible for trangender U.S. citizens to claim asylum elsewhere—and an expert told VICE News it’s unlikely—the devolving situation in the U.S. has inspired people like Willgohs to try.
“All you need to do is look at the news and see how bad it’s going to get in the country,” Willgohs said.

Some good news.
Transgender?
Ok.....
I suppose then dead people could self-identify as being alive?
This thread needs the “well, bye” guy!
Feel good story of the day!
I don't believe it.
Can she provide a source?
In my view, Americans are tolerant to a fault, and cannot bend over backwards enough for these freaks.
And no, not letting men into the bathroom with girl children isn't criminalizing their very existence. Maybe just their ability to prey on and sexually assault kids....
“There’s like 30 states right now I wouldn’t even drive through,” Willgohs said.
I wish he would supply a list of those 30 states.
… lawmakers targeting transgender people with increasingly draconian legislation that criminalizes their very existence, Willgohs is worried.
What legislation is he referring to?
Bye... But it’s OK to attack cops, children, conservatives ...
“...increasingly draconian legislation that criminalizes their very existence, . . .”
Hmmm. I’m not aware of any existing or proposed legislation that makes it a crime to be a tranny.
Maybe the legislature of the State of Drama is considering some.
If any of these people do actually leave the U.S., which they won’t, they’re going to find out quickly that most of the rest of the world is not nearly as accepting of trannies and gays as the U.S. It’s like the American blacks that move to Africa to get away from our supposed racism. They find out really quickly what real racism is when Africans don’t view them as real blacks because they’ve got a trace of caucasian blood.
Where do we donate for the one way ticket?
But the person quoted in the excerpt said it happened: “when she decided to stop at a public bathroom. A man followed her inside and pushed her up against a wall.”
So OF COURSE it’s on the rise. Trans-men are going into ladies’ rooms while real-men’s daughters and wives are in there. That trans-man should’ve been push through that wall.
O.W.S...
Operation Warp Speed
I am beginning to think Make America Straight Again might be a winning slogan.
Oh boo-hoo. We all have to sign up to affirm your perversion???
ya think?
Free one-way ticket to Kabul or Tehran will be available at the gate.
Heh. Been in some of those play-acting theaters.
Could be!!
😂🤣😜
Sure thing! Now go away and come up with a new “scoop.”
